It isn't a marketing nightmare, it's just people being overdramatic.

I agree with the cynics. I believe EA will artificially boost the voting for Vick to win because a cover featuring Hillis will sell a lot less (because of casual gamers/"fans") than a cover featuring Vick will.

This would be illegal, so they won't. It will not sell a lot less because of one player over another being on the cover. For those casual gamers/"fans" the most important thing on the cover is the NFL logo and the word MADDEN.

Why illegal?

Wow, what a joke.

Why didn't Julious Jones get the cover back in 2004? He had stats comparable to Hillis.

Imagine the confusion on the average persons face when they see ads with this incredibly pedestrian player on the cover? A marketing disaster.

They are running a contest based on the results, this precludes any meddling with the results. Adembroski confirmed as much in one of the other threads on this topic.
